If you wish to visit The Villages, and Lake Sumter Landing in particular, you may want to book a room at The Waterfront Inn, which overlooks, naturally, Lake Sumter.
@ Safe Leif - We've done professional photography before, and a couple of years ago, we were trying to keep a small business together...we took some nice photos of this inn and the manager wanted to use them in a brochure. We said, fine, you can do that for $10.
Never heard back!!! (The $10 was, I thought, a rather nominal fee...and we could show a bit of income)...but noooooooo....
@ VP - I took these a couple of days ago. It was mid-morning; hot; and a weekday. Summer is not a busy time for The Villages. While there were a lot of folks driving back and forth through town, the streets were very quiet.
As things cool down, and the "snowbirds" come back from the north, the place will rock!
@ Bibi - I don't think that's a kitty. I think that is one of those faux owls perched there to keep the pigeons and seagulls away...
I don't think it works very well. The administrators of a school where I taught tried that one time. Put these faux owls around the roof of the building. The pigeons perched on the heads of the faux owls!
@ Lake Weir - Sure. I use Photoshop 3 and LightZone. Gotta tweak your photos! I used to do it all in the darkroom; now I can do it faster and easier in the computer! :-)
I'd like this pool...nobody around except the kitty to see my flab.
ReplyDeleteNice place, why it is so desert? A gators raid?
ReplyDeleteAny place with PALM trees, is a great place! I guess the Waterfront Inn would qualify! Nice snaps! Did they use your photos for a promo brochure??!
ReplyDeletebeautiful place
ReplyDeleteI love the shapes

People are funny, as Art Linkletter used to say!

Looks like a very pleasant place to stay. It always interests me when a place on a lake also has a pool. ;-)
ReplyDelete@ EG - But you wouldn't want to swim in this lake...so the pool is necessary! Unless, of course, you're on friendly terms with gators...
ReplyDeleteI love these shots, beautiful colors. Are you using any photo tweeking programs?
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's a nice place. I have had a not so nice experience with an establishment called Waterfront in WA... So now I'm wary.

ReplyDeletePretty nice looking - Is that a kitty cat on the railing around the swimming pool?
ReplyDelete@ Tricia - About that "kitty cat" - read my response to Bibi above...it's a hoot! ;-)
